thats a good way of finding out what you have to squeeze, but remember not to do it too often when peeing, or you could give yourself a urinary infection :-?

I think the idea is to try it mid-stream so that you can feel which muscles it is you need to squeeze, and its not just the ones at the front which stop the wee, but also the ones further back inside which would stop the no2's. The midwife that discharged me after I had Anna also said not to do it too often midstream as it can also confuse your body and the natural relaxation of that muscle when you do need to wee...
